Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I now have another kids' show I dislike: Masha and the Bear.

I am a planner, but when the right house comes available and you can swing it (with lots of help) plans go out the window.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes shit works out, msbelle. Fingers crossed.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Anybody who's ever wanted to take part in transcribing old letters/diaries/etc. for the Library of Congress - the current push is for Suffragettes' (or Suffragists') writings in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

so say one put an offer on a house today and there was no reply by end of business and say this person is a CONTROL FREAK with few outlets for energy.

What items should said person maybe go searching for online to occupy her time?

I do plan on doing an hour or so of yardwork later this evening.

well I have meeting with boss's boss on Wed morning which I hope will give me a better feeling for the chances of staying at current company. And that is the first choice.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I used my standing desk for actual standing for hours today to stay awake because jet lag. And I foolishly scheduled a training session on a complicated topic this afternoon, so I asked everyone to snap their fingers in my face if I trailed off to stare into the middle distance while leading the training.

The air conditioning keeps going out in my work building, so I'm having regular conversations with my coworkers like "Is the building hot, or am I dying?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, msbelle! Good luck!

Thrive to spite them

I am spending a few days with Mom and tthe the nephew. This wasn't what I had planned at the beginning of the summer and periodically I checked to make sure the dates I requested off would be dates my nephew would have free. And they were until his other grandma wanted to see him and this weekend was the only one that would work.

But it's ok. Matthew came up with me and we did early birthday shopping for my nephew. I got him a kit to build a small table top trebuchet. My brother will probably kill me because I keep getting him things that need to be put together but my nephew had no ideas for his birthday other than "electronics". He desperately wants a tablet or a phone . Almost every other kid has access to something like that or a gaming system and he just mainly wants to play games.

Mom's birthday is tomorrow but we had cupcakes and presents tonight. We played Uno amd Exploding Kittens, which Matthew impulse bought today and it's fun. Tomorrow we are trying our hand at Chickapig again. It's a funny little game we were playing all wrong.
